Chapter 291: Chapter 229: Thirty Years of Foundation Establishment, Advancement to Core Formation Stage _1
In no time, news of the killing of the notorious Red Blood Old Ghost and four
other Golden Core Cultivators reverberated swiftly through Immortal Mist City.
The inhabitants of Immortal Mist City were taken aback.
The Foundation-building Cultivators in particular knew all too well what this outcome signified.
“Impossible! That was the Red Blood Old Ghost! How could he meet such a brutal end in Immortal Mist City? How did this come to pass?” an astonished Foundation-building Cultivator found it hard to believe.
Born in the Wuji Alliance’s maritime domain, he was acutely aware of the formidable reputation of Red Blood Old Ghost.
He was a terrifying cultivator, capable of silencing a crying child with his notoriety alone.
He even made the Wuji Alliance’s wanted list.
Famed in dogged pursuit, that very name dwindled the spirit of countless cultivators.
The death toll at his hands was simply incalculable.
But now, the Red Blood Old Ghost had met a bloody end in Immortal Mist City.
The truth would probably raise skepticism if spread out.
Yet it had indeed unfolded before their very eyes.
“It’s not just the Red Blood Old Ghost, but also the Ice Monkey Old Ghost, Green
Bull Master, Purple Feather Master, Yellow Snake Master, and others who were all Golden Core Completion cultivators.”
-But now they are all dead in the hands of those three Golden Core female cultivators.”
Another Foundation-building Cultivator stated soberly, he knew that the Red Blood Old Ghost and the five Golden Core Masters were all infamous figures, each with a potentially promising future of becoming a Nascent Soul Ancestor.
But they died brutally at the hands of the Golden Core Masters within Immortal Mist City.
Undoubtedly, the news would certainly send ripples throughout the Wuji Alliance.
It would also make a name for Immortal Mist City.
“How did they manage to do that?’1
“I did see the Red Blood Old Ghost and his gang carrying the third-stage
Prohibition Breaking Talisman.”
“Did that not work against Immortal Mist City?”
Yet another Foundation-building Cultivator was left puzzled.
He had initially planned to take advantage of the chaos and rob Immortal Mist
City for a big fortune.
But alas, the opportunity never came to pass.
Before the chaos could fully unfurl, the Red Blood Old Ghost and his squad were executed on the spot.
Looking back, he was now relieved he hadn’t acted rashly.
Otherwise, he would certainly have been killed by the cultivators of Immortal
Mist City, with not even a complete corpse left.
This was a stroke of luck, in retrospect.
“It’S said that Immortal Mist City houses a third-stage Array Master.” “Leveraging the powers of the third-stage Array Master, even a third-stage Prohibition Breaking Talisman couldn’t breach the third-order formation here.”
“As such, the Red Blood Old Ghost and his company had fallen right into the city’s trap.”
“With the power of the third-order formation and three Golden Core Masters, they ensured the Red Blood Old Ghost and his associates were trapped with no way out.”
“Who would have thought Golden Core Sects from these remote islands could be this powerful? They first executed the three Wu Clan Owls, and they’ve now slain the Red Blood Old Ghost and his gang. Such brutality!”
“It only shows that Immortal Mist City’s rise is unstoppable, unless a Nascent Soul Ancestor decides to take personal action; otherwise, nobody can do anything about it.”
The cultivators were all discussing fervently.
They soon realized that a formidable Golden Core power seemed poised to rise within the Wuji Alliance, and from then on, Immortal Mist City would undeniably hold a seat of strength in the Alliance.
Many Golden Core families, Golden Core cultivators would probably retreat three steps when encountering Immortal Mist City.
After all, no one would want to meet their end within the city’s formation. Even if they didn’t expand the power of Immortal Mist City, they would certainly have no problem protecting themselves.
A few days later.
The news of the death of the Red Blood Old Ghost and other Golden Core Masters had naturally reached and been acknowledged by the higher echelons of the Wuji Alliance, the Golden Core factions and even several Nascent Soul
Ancestors.
After all, the Red Blood Old Ghost and his fellows were famed, once recognized as having the potential to ascend to Nascent Soul status.
But now they had died terribly in Immortal Mist City, naturally drawing much attention.
At the heart of Wuji Island lay a luxurious palace known as the Limitless
Palace.
The palace was also where the Wuji Alliance’s headquarters was located. Numerous Nascent Soul Ancestors practiced cultivation in the surrounding mountain ranges, given that this area was the source of the fourth-stage high-quality Spirit Vein whose richness in spiritual energy surpassed the imagination of the outside world.
At this moment, several Nascent Soul Ancestors gathered, convening a meeting.
“Well, well, Red Blood Old Ghost died?”
“I thought he had some semblance of good fortune and might one day ascend to Nascent Soul status.”
“I wouldn’t have thought he would edge towards a grim end at the hands of some female Golden Core cultivators.
A Nascent Soul Ancestor laughed, treating the proceedings as an amusing story.
He initially had high hopes on Red Blood Old Ghost; assuming he did manage to achieve Nascent Soul status, all his past misdeeds would be forgotten, and the Wuji Alliance would even revoke his arrest warrant.
But now, with Red Blood Old Ghost’s death, this certainly strayed beyond his expectations.
“Just a smidgen of spiritual fortune, that’s all.
“To become a Nascent Soul Ancestor, one must possess great spiritual fortune.” “Even cultivators possessing a Heavenly Spirit Root can’t claim with certainty that they can achieve a hundred percent success rate in becoming a Nascent Soul.”
“If they fail to pass the Heart Devil Tribulation, they’ll still face obliteration.” Another Nascent Soul Ancestor said lazily.
Having gone through it himself, he knew all too well how difficult it was to become a Nascent Soul cultivator.
As a Heavenly Spirit Root cultivator, overcoming the mana phase was definitely not a problem.
But the problem was crossing the Heart Devil phase, hardly any external force could be of help here; even the Nascent Soul materials that could help overcome the Heart Devil Tribulation were extremely scarce, one could only rely on oneself.
An unknown number of Heavenly Spirit Root Golden Core cultivators fell at this phase, devoured by the Heart Demon.
It could be said that to become a Nascent Soul cultivator, both one’s talent and will must reach a supreme level..
